Step 1. Print out the Emacs reference card and the Vim reference card.
You can find them via Google. Or, buy "Unix in a Nutshell" published by
O'Reilly which has the same information as the refcards plus more.
Step 2. apt-get install emacs21 vim-full
Step 3. Try them both for a few hours. See which you prefer.
(It's good to know the basics of both anyway: many Linux programs use
the Emacs keymap and some, like NetHack, use the Vim keymap.)
Step 4. If you need help, ask in comp.editors on Usenet or #vim or
#emacs on irc.freenode.net.
Tip: For syntax highlighting in Vim, do:
:syntax on
In Emacs, press Alt+x then type global-font-lock-mode. Press Enter.
Tip 2: For the Vim tutorial, open up a terminal and run vimtutor. For
the Emacs tutorial, type Control+h then press t.
Tip 3: If you want an editor for X Window, consider evim (which is
included with vim) or, better yet, cream instead; they are customized
versions of vim which lack a command mode. These work similarly to
Windows Notepad. But if you want the full power of vim, I recommend you
use regular vim.
I'd be curious to hear what you end up choosing.
Happy hacking,
